Much prefer this over a priority pick so I am pretty happy with that. I don't reckon there is much chance we trade these on, we will bring in some good big bodies around the kids and protect them... What we should have done 8 years ago...

Absolutely...get some mature blokes that would absolutely give anything for an opportunity at the level rather than another kid who,thinks their entitled and who,will likely bugger off.
If there has to be some form of priority than this is as the option

Maybe Carlton want to Trade their mature age players and GC don't .
So is this going to be applied in the future or is it a one-off? What are the criteria for determining who gets this access next year? If the answer is 'we have a secret formula', I don't want to know.
What Damien Barrett wrote (I know...) it sounded like the bottom 2 teams each year will get it. I may have misunderstood though.

Apparently... according to the very salty Sam McClure in the last hour or so (who is Carlton’s mouthpiece)... the Mitch McGovern negotiations have gone too far now and Carlton can’t back out, they’ve committed, so they are going to now have to find another way to get Adelaide what they want..
Looks like it could get costly for the blues..

I just can’t believe how salty some of their supporters are because the AFL dared to not give them the handout they wanted.. and on top of this they had already spent the priority pick on MM before they’d even got it and were demanding that adelaide must simply accept it... it’s astounding!!
Just how entitled can they get?... gimme, gimme, gimme!
Pick 1.

I think allowing these clubs to get early access to mature state league players is a great idea... There’s some good talent there ripe for the picking for those good enough to find it.

Carlton can draft Mitch grigg and give him lance whitnalls 8 and size 17XL shorts
The AFL won't be happy until they've completely screwed state leagues into the ground, if they haven't done so already. One of these days the AFL will do something that actually benefits the health of the game in this country ...... for a nice change.
As for clubs like Gold Coast and Carlton, stop behaving like homeless people and do something to help yourself for a change.

I predict Carlton will take Sam Collins and Gold Coast will take Marlion Pickett.

I assume because he meant that they are "special"
More players of State level quality. Just what both clubs really need!
I second this, it's a decent idea someone probably came up with at a meeting this morning. Actually the idea is probably floating around Bigfooty so maybe someone at AFL House surfed the geocities.

This.
If they want to take the state level player for immediate impact eg Tim Kelly then they can; otherwise they trade with a club who does want them without every other club getting shafted by the priority pick system.
Much better alternative, and gives more of those state league guys a chance to get drafted by sticking at it.
Considering a Crows team with no Tex, Sloane, Smith, Talia, Brad Crouch, Dodee at your home ground, without wanting to win as a win could see us drop one spot down the draft order, destroyed you, I think you would struggle in any State League at this point.

So you're saying you failed at tanking?
I don't understand Carlton's list management. They desperately need midfielders so what do they do? Go hard at a contracted third tall forward. They must have banked hard on getting that PP.
